Syria's government faces deepening instability, marked by fresh clashes in southern Sweida and escalating tensions in the Kurdish-controlled northeastern regions.
Analysts attribute this turmoil to widespread distrust among social groups and the amplifying role of regional interventions.
Intense clashes broke out in Syria's southern province of Sweida at the end of July, and this week, fighting has resumed in the area.
Additionally, in the suburbs of Aleppo and Deir ez-Zor province in northeastern Syria, Kurdish forces continue to engage in ongoing battles with the Syrian regime's military.
"The instability in southern Syria and the northeastern areas controlled by Kurdish forces is tied to the distrust that many social groups feel towards the Syrian regime. While these groups participated in the 'national dialogue,' their rights were not protected in the constitutional declaration, and they have no representation in governance," said Mahmoud, a political analyst.
Regional interventions have further intensified the instability of the situation in Syria, according to the analyst.
"Regional interventions are posing challenges to Syria's internal affairs, particularly because of the conflicting interests of certain regional powers. These countries seek to make Syria an unstable region in order to enhance or expand their influence," said Mahmoud.
